!!!!!!!!!!!!! @JNJNews, THANK YOU for choosing #PatientsNotPatents. Takes real guts to live up to your credo. Generic bedaquiline WILL BE AVAILABLE in almost every country with a high tuberculosis burden. I am so happy and grateful to the Stop TB Partnership, J&J, and especially the activists around the world who are standing up for TB patients. So much more work to do, but WHAT WONDERFUL NEWS TO WAKE UP TO.
I want to be very clear that no one is SUGGESTING that people will die because Johnson & Johnson is trying to immorally extend their patent on bedaquline an additional 4 years after its 20-year term.
Instead, people are STATING THE FACT that people will die because of Johnson & Johnson trying to immorally extend their patent on bedaquiline an additional 4 years after its 20-year term.
One of the reasons tuberculosis continues to infect and kill more people is because you refuse to allow the widespread distribution of affordable bedaquiline, which is essential to stopping the spread of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and curing those infected by it.
It takes some gall to wonder aloud what the problem is when you know that you are the problem. You've had 20 years of a bedaquiline monopoly. You've made your money. ENOUGH.
i think y’all need to be reminded, especially when you’re face to face with strangers: other people are not npcs! they have their own lives and are real people! you’re not the main character! no one is! knock it off!
Story of police killing a little girl's goat is really sticking with me.
As such, I read the actual lawsuit. If anything, some of the details therein make it even worse.
If there is any justice, their needs to be a large punitive judgment in this case.
Details follow. 🧵
i’ve gone to 3 different @ChipotleTweets restaurants in raleigh in the last 2 months and ALL of them have messed up my order?? each way it’s been different so at least it’s fun to see what they messed up each time
today someone thought of me over the weekend and made me banana bread 🥹 i also was walking george and someone reversed out of the crosswalk (we had the light) so we could go!
i’m really tired of feeling like there’s only terrible people in the world, and i bet i’m not the only one so i wanna keep track of good interactions with people as a lil reminder
